Why would you spend thousands of dollars on a robot arm when you can pick up a Cheap Robot Arm for the price of a bucket of beers at a Las Vegas hotel. (cc @terrorproforma) cheaprobotarm.com

Third time's the charm. Changes: - I went really thin on the solder mask. That ended up working really well (although there is still some weirdness around the pads/through holes). I couldn't resist using a transparency, and I'm glad I did. - I reduced the paste pad size by 15%.…
Reporting a lack of progress: - Solder mask wasn't fully cured (probably too thick) and flaked off when I pried it off the double-sided tape. - Still no joy lasering the silkscreen. I think I'm going to start messing with the F1 Ultra again and see how it does for "finishing"…

Houston we have a problem - First time freehanding solder paste (I usually use a stencil) - Probably shouldn't have used the paste straight out of the fridge - I used too much paste That being said, the MHP50 worked surprisingly well. This is FR1, and it didn't cook the…
